How the Cline Integration Works

Build Your Knowledge Base in Contextium

Autonomous agents are only as good as their grounding. Give Cline your conventions, architecture, and the project state it should respect.

Conventions and hard rules
Architecture decisions
Project phases and tasks to work against
Runbooks and gotchas

Add the MCP Server in Cline

Open Cline’s MCP Servers panel and add Contextium, or edit its MCP settings file directly:

Cline → MCP Servers → settings

// cline_mcp_settings.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "contextium": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@contextium/mcp-server@latest"]
    }
  }
}

Cline Executes With Context

Before acting, Cline can search your workspace, read the relevant standards, and check project state — then update tasks and phases as it works.

Grounded plans instead of generic guesses
Reads and updates tasks and phases over MCP
Same truth as every teammate’s tools

Autonomous Agents Need Grounding Most

The more an agent does alone, the more its context matters.

Cline alone

✕Agent infers conventions from whatever files are open
✕Rules files per repo, per person
✕No awareness of team project state
✕Learnings vanish when the task ends

With Contextium

Agent grounds every plan in documented standards
Reads project phases and tasks before acting
Updates shared state as it works — visibly, with history
Same context across the team’s other tools

Cline Integration — Common Questions

How do I connect Contextium to Cline?

Run npx @contextium/mcp-server@latest setup, or add the Contextium MCP server in Cline’s MCP Servers panel (it edits cline_mcp_settings.json for you). Cline can then search and load your workspace context.

Can Cline write to my Contextium workspace?

Yes — through the MCP tools Cline can update files, tasks, and project phases, with every change versioned and recorded in the event log.

Does this work with .clinerules?

They complement each other: keep .clinerules for Cline-specific behaviour in a repo, and put shared cross-repo knowledge in Contextium where every tool and teammate reaches it.

Is the Cline integration free?

Yes. MCP integration is included in all Contextium plans, including the free plan.
